More than one person was alarmed when they saw Jannik Sinner clutch his side during his match against Félix Auger-Aliassime, thinking the Italian might have a serious issue. One of his coaches, Simone Vagnozzi, downplayed those discomforts and assured that Jannik will be more than ready for the final this Sunday at the US Open.

This was mentioned in an interview with Ubitennis. It seems that within the team, these issues in the abdominal area are not a major concern. At least, that's what Vagnozzi expresses. It is true that they may not want to reveal if the problem is more serious, but considering how the match ended, with no signs of discomfort or need for the doctor's presence, it seems that it was just a minor scare.

Physical Issue

He was slightly bothered in the abdominal area at one point, but after treatment with the physiotherapist, it went away. I don't think it's anything serious. After returning from the locker room, in the first game of the third set, he wasn't sure how he felt and didn't put much effort into serving. Then, he began to serve with more force and it improved. Therefore, I think he is very calm heading into Sunday.

Match against Auger-Aliassime

It was very tough, but it's true that sometimes you need matches like that to appreciate the journey better. We take nothing for granted. Reaching a final is incredible. It's normal to face difficulties in a tournament like this. Jannik approaches Sunday with great confidence and playing very well. It will be a tough match against Carlos. It will be a spectacle.

Alcaraz's Statement in the Wimbledon final, where he said Jannik was better than him from the baseline

I hope he says the same on Sunday as well. It will be an extremely difficult final, as always. I'm sure Carlos will try something different from the Wimbledon final. Therefore, we need to be prepared. It will be important to have certain tactical ideas. Then, we must step onto the court calmly, ready to have fun and enjoy.

If there are new tactics to implement, from both sides

There are always adjustments, even during the match. You need to be fully prepared. Carlos can vary and adopt different tactics, so we need to prepare well and follow what we've planned once we step onto the court.

Tactical Aspects

Jannik is becoming a more tactical player. He has always played thinking about himself, but for a year now, he's been attacking more the opponent's weak points, and this has transformed his game. His ball goes so fast that it's hard to make changes, but tonight we saw how he attacked Auger-Aliassime's backhand with lifted shots to open angles. We always seek solutions that allow us to trouble our rivals.

Told him to be a poker player

Sometimes you are tired, but you can't show it to your opponent. Against Aliassime, his energy dropped in the second set, and if he noticed it, he could have gained momentum. You have to be skillful and conceal emotions and physical condition.
